    Love him, or hate him; Canadians WILL miss Trudea’s steadfast commitment to Canada.

    This guy, and his staff, sat across the table and told Trump’s people to pound sand. Over, and over.

    Trudeau has shows us, repeatedly, he doesn’t back down from a fight. Especially from the USA.

    Freeland is cut from that same cloth. That whole free trade negotiation thing soured Trump on Canada, BECAUSE the Liberal govt wouldnt play his games.

    This defiance was repeated again over the last month.

    It’s why Trump hate Trudeau, and Freeland. They couldn’t be bought.

      I would be happy with Freeland as PM but I don’t think she could win the next election unfortunately. She’s too linked to Trudeau during a time when people are really looking for change. Carney seems to be the only one people are really rallying behind

      But yeah agreed about Canadians missing Trudeau. I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t have something to say about him (kind of inevitable after a decade in office really) but he’ll be remembered as an amazing PM imo. He was probably the best person to be in charge for the plethora of crises we’ve been through recently

    As an outsider (UK), Carney is a pretty good choice IMHO. Certainly better than Poilievre. Don’t need Canada taking a step to the right at the moment.

      As an outsider (AU) who has heard Poilievre speak on multiple occasions, a wet sack of dog shit would be a better choice than that criminally corrupt cuntrag.

        Yeah, if it was a vote between that dog shit and PP, I would happily vote for the dog shit.

        PP is running for PM but he still doesn’t have a security clearance, even after it came out that there was foreign interference within his own party (he’d need the clearance to get the specifics on the interference). He also seems to be struggling to show any real patriotism in the face of all of Trump’s threats. He pretty much always deflects to “Trudeau bad”

        I don’t believe that he wouldn’t just sell us out to the USA the minute he takes office
